Heading into the New Year we can’t help but look back on this past year. To say it’s been an exciting year for IntenseDebate is an understatement!
Our comment system has developed into a robust and sophisticated tool for building a community, increasing engagement, and giving sites a nice boost in page views. It couldn’t have happened without the non-stop effort of our team. Hats off to the entire team for the tremendous work that has gone into IntenseDebate!
More importantly, we’d like to thank you all for your continued support, alpha and beta testing, feedback, and for spreading the word about IntenseDebate. It goes without saying that IntenseDebate wouldn’t have even gotten off the ground without your help. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us make IntenseDebate what it is today. Infinite kudos to all of you!
So pop a bottle of champagne tonight and join us in toasting the New Year and all that’s to come in 2009!
We wish you all a happy New Year!
The Fellas at IntenseDebate
We’re excited to announce that you can now use IntenseDebate on Joomla powered sites! The credit goes to the team at RocketWerx who developed the RokIntenseDebate Comments plugin to easily allow integration of IntenseDebate comments in Joomla articles.
Using the plugin:
To use this plugin you must insert the {rokintensedebate} plugin text in the bottom of your article where you want the comments. You can use the Editor Button so you don’t even have to type it.
You can see the plugin in action here. Hats off to the team at RocketWerx!

WordPress Beta Plugin
We have also made our shiny new WordPress beta plugin available for download. As a collaborative effort between both our IntenseDebate crew and the Crowd Favorite team, taking this beta plugin live marks the culmination of several months of hard work. Hats off to everyone for a job well done and endless thanks to our alpha and beta testers!
So what’s the new plugin all about?
Two-Way Comment Sync
Comments made in IntenseDebate are automatically backed-up to your WordPress comment system, while your existing WordPress comments are automatically imported into IntenseDebate. You always have all of your comments so uninstalling is a one-click process if you change your mind.
Admin Panel Integration
Moderate and reply to IntenseDebate comments from your WordPress admin panel using our custom moderation page that looks and feels exactly like the WordPress page that you are used to. The only difference is the extra IntenseDebate zest we have added by including IntenseDebate avatars, reputation points, profile links and all of our other metadata gravy that you’ll love.
Search Engine Optimization
IntenseDebate outputs the standard WordPress comments enabling your comments to still be indexed by search engines that ignore JavaScript, while ensuring that visitors surfing with JavaScript disabled will be able to interact with comments made in IntenseDebate.
Trackbacks
Your trackbacks and pingbacks are all automatically synced to your IntenseDebate account so you won’t have to sacrifice one bit of link love by installing IntenseDebate.
Profile Sync
Create an account and login to IntenseDebate directly from WordPress! Syncing your accounts enables auto-login so logging into WordPress automatically logs you into IntenseDebate. Profile sync also means that comments you make are synchronized to both profiles so you maintain ownership of your profile.
Post Settings
WordPress admin settings like closing and opening comments on a post, and even changing your post titles, are automatically recognized and reflected in your IntenseDebate settings.
And even more feature goodness that we don’t have room for here. Interested in learning more about our WordPress beta plugin? Have a look here!
